Just curious. Lets say I got podded tommorw. (I'm just a 12mil SP Alt) and I had NO CLONE at all. Would I lose ALL my SP? A percentage, or how does it work. Someone asked in DCM chat today and no one really knew a definate answer. I'm curious to know the answer, but obviously I have a clone and will not test it out for myself  Anyone know a definitive answer? |

Edited by: Rob Eagle on 27/11/2008 01:15:37 -256,000 from your highest ranked level 5 skill.
Also, you always have a Clone Grade Alpha anyway :) |

You lose a percentage of the difference between your SP and your clone. The SPs come off your highest trained skill.
I cant remember the percentage though, I think its only 10%. |

Edited by: Skylia on 27/11/2008 01:23:51Ahh i see. was about to say 256,000 would be 10% of my Caldari Freighter skill at lvl 5 (rank 10). Doesn't seem that bad. Still lost time none the less. Something that can never be made up  Edit : So what would happen if some uber 70mil SP character pulled a super fail and got podded with no clone?? If it a percentage system? I'm talking NO CLONE at all. Not even an under graded clone. A super fail you got podded yesterday and forgot to buy a new one fail and got podded again today before grabbing a new one. Edit 2 : ahh didnt realize you always have a basic clone regardless. But still that only holds a couple mil no? (im not in a station with med bay to check) So if you had a clone that holds say 5mil. and got podded with 70 mil you would lose 10% of 65mil? |

If this happened I think the least of their worries is lost SP. That person might want to grab the helmet, they are about to miss the short bus... silly window licker.. |

Oh I understand my situation is truly an epic fail, and is extremely rare. I'm just curious on the definitive formula without testing it first hand. I searched some other topics and the Eve site but I really found no full description or formula for the actual loss you would endure on such a fail level. Agree though forgetting to clone is basicly thumbing down the short bus  So can anyone actually give the definitive forumla  |

Edited by: Farrellus Cameron on 27/11/2008 01:49:43 It depends on what skills you have you. It maxes out at whatever % of your most valuable skill, i.e., took the most time. If you had Gallente Titan V trained, it would take off like a good chunk of skill points from level V. But that's it. I believe that's the highest skill multiplier in the game at X16. Once you reach a certain amount of SP its effect is pretty much the same no matter how many you how many more SP you have. They make sure the loss isn't too devastating. |

I see, thanks bunches. so a % of your top skill. Gotcha. Ugh i'd hate to lose a chunk of freighter 5. (my highest skill hehe) My lesson of the day is complete. |

Yeah, though he SHOULD have known better. You still have to feel bad for the guy losing 1M SP. |

If you have more SPs than your current clone can handle and you are podded: The difference between your clone and your current SP is calculated and you lose X% of the difference from your last trained skill. |

Posted - 2008.11.28 10:38:00 - [ 17]
so it's taken from the most recent skill trained and not the highest ranked? I also assume (bad word i know) X% = 10% of the difference as stated above? Just curious of the exact mechanics is all. It shouldn't happen to me (at least I would think i'm smart enough for it not to  ) I hope.. |

Edited by: Estel Arador on 29/11/2008 11:28:55 I thought it was 5% of the difference between your SP and the SP covered by the clone, taken from the skill you have most SP in; of course being contradicted by a dev makes me think I might be wrong.
Edit: my post was incomplete; fixed by adding the part in italics. |

Edited by: Shadowsword on 28/11/2008 10:52:29 It happened to me once, years ago, and I lost 5% SP.
You'll forgive me if I don't try it again to check if it's still the same amount. :p |

It was 5% of the difference between what your clone covers and what you have taken from the highest ranked skill you have - not exceeding 1 level of the skill. however since PrismX has spoken then maybe it has changed ... I'll do a test on Sisi

Edited by: Washell Olivaw on 28/11/2008 11:14:14 Current SP minus Clone SP is answer.
Take 5% of answer and substract this from the skill with the most skillpoints, but don't take more than 50% of those skillpoints.
Been using this to confirm people's SP loss for the past 2 years and it was accurate to the minute.
Edit: For the most people it turns out their max skill loss is 1,024,000 of the Battleship skill which is 15 to 20 days of training. |

A quick test on sisi = 5% of (Current SP - Clone SP) taken from the Skill with the most SP this can equal more than 50% of the Skill i.e. my industrial alt lost 97.5k from Advanced Mass production 5 taking it to 42% Done now I don't think I can arrange it so that I an loose more than 1 level ... |

I ll give you an example of a situation i witnessed long time ago at 00. There was a guy in our sector that said he had bought a character from E bay and that he had a Thanatos of which he ignored the value at that point and that last night he had lost it and that he just wanted to be left to go to a safer sector but he was trapped in the middle of 00. After countless of questions we realised he had no clone and in case of a podding he was revived into our station but he wasn't able to use the medical service so to be transfered to a safer system or upgrade his clone.
So what happens in that situation? Is there no way for such a player to be transfered in empire somehow? Cause as things were described to me he would get Poded and be revived into OE-4HB station only to find out he can't use the medical service there so to transfer his next clone to somewhere safer....
Any clues? |

It's a rank 8 skill, so I assume you mean 975k sp. Capped at 50% means you can't lose more than 1024k sp when it's fully trained. If you lose 1024k you end up at 39% trained to level V. Running the same math for 975k gives me 42% done for level V. You're thinking 50% of skill level which for a rank 8 skill trained to level 5 would be: 2,048,000 - 362,040(level 1 to 4) / 2 = 842,980 I said it was 50% of the total skill which is: 2,048,000 /2 = 1,024,000 |

This is why its worth keeping at least one jump clone in a safe empire/low sec station with a medical bay. |

yeah 975k - 42% done <- that was my error thinking 42% is less than 50% IYSWIM [I know how it works and you are correct ] so we beat PrismX :-=P |

Nope, noob Dev.  You lose a % of your highest trained skill. I lost 60% of Cap Ships V the other week (it's been at V for over a year) |
